The new beta key doesn't work

#1 Post by Finn-Again » Thu Aug 28, 2025 11:49 pm

Hi, I'm new here. I heard of this program for archiving my DVD collection and was excited to use it. The only problem is I have not gotten the chance to use it at all and I'm finding no information on how to get past the register key. I used the temporary that was posted recently and it's still "invalid." I don't know if I want to buy a key since I haven't even been able to use the free non-working version. How do I fix this and get the program to run? Please help I haven't been able to find any other recommended software to do the same thing this one is suppose to be able to do.

Let's get this straight - you used the current beta key that is in the topic MakeMKV is free while in beta, and it did not work?

Hi, I got the same issue, make sure that there isn't a space the end of the key, that solved it for me

You will always get the full, correct beta key if you use the "Select all" link in the Code box before copying.

Thank you all! I used the right key but it might've been the spacing. The "Select All" button advice really helped a lot, still thank you all :D I hope me goofing at this helps more peeps like me.

The key works on windows, but not on linux ( I'm using ubuntu )

With the command:

Code: Select all

makemkvcon reg <key>
I get the error:

Code: Select all

Key not found or invalid
version : MakeMKV v1.18.1 linux(x64-release) started

Thank you.
